Ginger beer cocktails are perfect for fall! Instead of a Moscow mule, make one of these 20+ delicious and unique drinks with ginger beer.
Ginger beer (not to be confused with ginger ale) is used in a lot of classic cocktail recipes. The most popular is, of course, the Moscow mule which you can recognize by the copper mug it is served in. Ginger beer is the ingredient that gives the mule its fizzy, spicy flavor.
